New System to 'Link' Baltimore City

The Baltimore Link, Charm City’s new transit system, is making its debut. After almost two years of planning, the $135 million dollar revamped system was launched in the wee hours of Sunday morning. MTA Director Kevin Quinn, along with Brian O’Malley, president and CEO of the Central Maryland Transportation Alliance; Samuel Jordan, president of the Baltimore Transit Equity Coalition; and city planner Klaus Philipsen join Tom today to discuss the new system and its impact on city residents. MTA officials say that it will speed up time for commuters and get people closer to more of the places where they work. But not everyone is convinced.
